I’m finding I have to stay out of political threads since the election, because I don’t want to say things I’ll end up regretting down the road. There’s a few people I wouldn’t be able to hold off gloating mightily and nastily to. (Anyone seen **Rand Rover** in the last couple of days? I didn’t think so.) I’m not noble, but I’m trying to be. ---

Let her have it. By your own addmission, four days later she will rationalize a reason to forgive you! … Or God will have interceeded on your behalf, whichever. 🙂 ---

I think Miss Manners excepts being rude to insane right-wing relatives with computers (if she doesn’t, she should). Blast your sister-in-law any way you feel fit - I’d barrage her with stories and pictures of the noble President Elect Barack Hussein Obama. All in the interest of enlightening her and sharing the good word, of course. 🙂 ---

I’d send her Obama’s a link new website: [http://www.change.gov/](http://www.change.gov/) She can send him an email and tell him what she thinks! ---
